Progress report 2 - 2010 returns
6 August 2010
In our last update, on 30 July 2010, we noted that in the period from 1 July 2010 to 29 July 2010, the ATO had issued more than 1.25 million notices of assessment, including just over 1.04 million refunds.
This week, we have finalised a further 800,000 assessments and the vast majority of these are refunds, with electronic funds (EFT) payments being made from today (6 August 2010). By the time these refunds issue, the ATO will have paid out over $4 billion in refunds since 9 July 2010.
Have there been delays in processing 2010 tax returns?
As is the case every year, we could not begin processing returns straight away, because we had to test the new software installed for the 2009-2010 year. This happens every year because it is necessary to install new software for any changes in the tax laws. This year, we did not begin processing income tax returns until 9 July 2010 and if you lodged your return prior to 9 July, processing would have been delayed.
Up to 23 July, there were delays with the processing of returns for taxpayers who have Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) and Student Financial Supplement Scheme (SFSS) obligations. We needed to carry out extended testing of the accuracy of assessments for these returns. Processing of these returns commenced on 23 July 2010 – therefore, if you a filed a return before 23 July 2010 and you had a HELP or SFSS obligation, your assessment would take longer to complete.
Last week, we had more returns on hand than we were able to process. While refunds were issued every day, last week-end we caught up, which enabled us to finalise 800,000 assessments this week.
Overall, the regular flow of assessments and refunds has not been as consistent during our first four weeks of processing as we would have liked and we are taking steps to smooth out these fluctuations.
We apologise for any inconvenience these delays may have caused.
Service standards
As was the case last year, this year we aim to process
94% of individuals` electronic returns within 14 days, and
80% of paper returns should be processed within 42 days.
Time it takes to process a return
This year, the ATO has upgraded its technology to help detect over-stated or fraudulent claims for refunds. This has added two days to the processing time for all returns, but we still aim to meet our 14 and 42 day targets.
However, as explained in earlier updates, some returns will take longer than others, because, for example, more information is needed, cross-checking is needed with Centrelink or the Child Support Agency or there are errors in the return.

It will take some time, have patience. There may be many reasons...may be your papaers are not clear, there may be some problem with them. Approach the rightperson and find from him. Keep a track on your tax refund with them else it might get delayed. The Income-Tax Department must progressively reduce the time taken for refunds from the present period of more than four months to a maximum of 60 days. Be very careful and polite with them. They may at times work with some brokers who may charge you some amount with an assurance that your work will be done in few days.The Income-Tax Department must progressively reduce the time taken for refunds from the present period of more than four months to a maximum of 60 days.

The reasons can be many. After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity, you should submit the tax refund request and allow them 6-9 days times in order to process it.
A refund can be delayed for a variety of reasons. For example submitting invalid records or applying after the deadline. For further assistance, you can refer the following websites

Hope it will answer all your queries and you will get your refund soon.

They usually take 2 to 3 weeks unless you lodge e-tax which could save you a week. Tax refunds were taking longer for companies around December last year due to some changes in 2010 in the ATO system. Posted returns might take slightly longer as they do need to be input into the computer. But in general refunds should be sent out within 14 days. Tax process really depend on how bust the ATO is.

The Australian Taxation Office or the ATO will take anywhere from 14 days to 42 days to process your 2010 tax refund and mail you a cheque. The process is much faster if you filed electronically. Refunds only take 2 weeks if you use the internet. If you filed by traditional means, it can take them a full 6 weeks before the will process your tax refund in Australia.
